17. Humvee

All Hummer civilian vehicles are based on the design of the original military Humvee. The first Humvees were built without body armor, as they were mainly used for transport behind enemy lines, but upgrades were later made so they could withstand small arms fire. One of the key differences between the military and civilian version of the Humvee is that the military version is water-tight and can be fitted with a snorkel so it can actually drive fully submerged.

There have been over 280,000 Humvees built, making them the most widely used military vehicles since the 1980s. Due to the large amount of Humvees being phased out by the military, it is relatively easy to buy one, though you will have to jump through some hoops to get it registered. Humvees are currently being auctioned off by the government with bids starting between $4,000 and $35,000.
